The Last Cowboy
Publication Date: November 7th, 2021
Genre: Historical Fiction
As the romanticized period of the American “wild” West wound down, most cowboys rode off into the sunset. Hank Miller must follow a different path. In The Last Cowboy, he survives the Civil War, Texas sized desperados, and the great San Francisco earthquake. With a debt to pay, Hank will place himself and his twin sons in great danger in a new, wild and untamed frontier—Morocco!
This is a sweeping tale of a reluctant hero of the West. It is also a story of romance and international adventure, stretching from west Texas to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, London, Tangier and the Moroccan Rif. The novel spans an equally expansive time frame: 1860 to 1912. The backdrop is the American frontier with all its enduring myths and troubling realities.
Ultimately, his heroism earns Hank unexpected wealth, friends on three continents, and the love of an extraordinary woman. Now ensconced in a mansion in the most exclusive neighborhood of San Francisco, Hank has a beautiful wife and three remarkable children. He wants nothing more than to enjoy them all and the highly successful international tour business he and Beth now operate. But a last, perilous mission awaits. Hank has a debt to pay and a friend to rescue in a far off land.
Rating & Review
5 out of 5
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect going into this – a western, an adventure, or something that was more generally historical fiction. I’d say this was a cross between all three. You get a glimpse at the old west, what life as a cowboy turned city boy must have been like, a debt to be repaid across the world takes us on an adventure, and all set around the late 19th and early 20th century. I loved how unique Hank’s voice was as a narrator, and I could easily imagine listening to him telling you the story around a campfire. The story itself draws you in, and before you know it you’re chapters deep, and the sun has set.
